Do people at a bakery ever make flour power jokes?
Three very bright ribbons of green light swirl in the night sky over a round yurt surrounded by a wooden deck. The silhouetted spires of spruce trees rise up around the snow-covered yurt and stand against the bright green lights.
Each night of our aurora tours in Churchill is spent in a different location. This yurt just inside the treeline is one of my favourite places. We had a spectacular show there the other night. #aurora #northernlights

Truth be told: I take all of this for granted at this point, but that also makes it difficult to communicate to others. Especially because I don't know where they are relative to where I am. I don't know how to navigate to a mutual understanding in any easy communicative sense. Words are hard, haha.
I'm thinking about this because of my podcast interview.
My interviewer tried to clarify how my library works: He assumed I coded my own abstract machine to execute my meta-assembly (bytecode). There's no abstract machine other than a handful of specific C++ functions. It's a grammatical solution.
[cctmp]
The theoretical basis for my library,
Something that might be able to be turned into an academic paper, is that C++ continuation passing (template) functions with variadic packs are sufficiently powerful to model a Turing complete abstract machine.
It just happens to be practical (perf).
Not a new episode,
But I don't think I'd heard it before and I do like lisp, and I do like space.

For me it puts things into perspective here on bluesky: I've muted several accounts over the years, and it's because they were divisive. I wonder if the account users themselves know their posts are being promoted as such?

Play our own games.
If you're quick to judge,
You don't even know
Our games.
Abigail Arey, from Aklavik, won Team NT's first gold ulu of the 2026 Arctic Winter Games in Dene Games' stick pull event. Watch the team explain the rules.
What's up?

Picture of the day is brought you to be our very own Jordan Haslbeck as he attends this year's Arctic Winter Games to help cover the event.
Having hand coded them, I know what the end results look like which will make figuring out the meta-compiler translation algorithm easier.
Tonight I'll try to add in a "pretty printer" (I think that's the terminology) so I can read the generated assembly which will help me debug.
Thanks.

I've already tested each, they work as expected.
As for references, the next step in the process is to create (symbolic) lambda expressions representing these functions, and then build the mini meta-compiler to translate those expressions into this style meta-assembly.

function values within my concord classes (compile time type systems). From there I pass those compile time concords to my continuant machines and the C++ compiler turns them into actual constexpr functions.
I've handrolled these functions as both test cases and points of reference.

Creating my mini meta-compiler is a multistep process.
Today I've handcoded the meta-assembly [see image] for the following functions:
{ identity, square, sum of squares, factorial, fibonacci }
I have enough set up now I can handroll such assembly and turn that "bytecode" into

From Niagara Falls to the CN Tower, the view flying into Toronto is beautiful!
